Communism is bad?

Our 3 republican presidents of the booming 20's, Harding, Coolidge and Hoover, established this as "The business of America, is business" and basically, ever since then, we've been drifting towards what people consider "communism" and that is, to end where I started off, total and utter control by the government.

Its not about the government becoming communist, its about the corporations taking over and becoming organizations that exert power nationally or internationally with the interest of making profits, maintaining specific profits, and of course buying off people or using dirty work to make sure they are maintaining themselves in power.

So to the speak, America is becoming a plutocracy.
